Hmmm, they voluntarily choose to have seven bells knocked out of them.
How far should authorities go in protecting free citizens from themselves ?

I have to say I'm afraid I agree with OG, you can't and shouldn't legislate against people deciding to box, especially when the risks are so well known. x

[Baldric]

I boxed for the RMs, when you step into the ring you know the risks involved, don't like 'em, don't do it.

[ummmm]

Never going to happen.

[ummmm]

OH Gosh Baldric, were you in the Royal Marines? I never knew that.

[Cloverjo]

I agree it's barbaric. I can't watch heavyweight boxing, but quite enjoy Olympic lightweight boxing with their head guards.

However, the big guys know the risks and are prepared to take them.

Grow up ummmm!

[Mamyalynne]

I'm not a boxing fan, my Husband was - although he didn't box but did wrestle in his younger days.

It's a choice.

Thanks Webbo, one rubbish link followed by one not working.

My dad boxed for the regiment during his national service, he loved it. He said it got him out of a lot of square bashing.

[anneasquith]

I'm all growed up, You on the other hand, you seem to have an inferior complex.

Just help your wife....and deal with your mistress, stop bragging on here.

[Zacs-Master]

Yeah, ummmm. Can’t a man mention he was in the forces now and again. And again. And again.

[Mamyalynne]

I was in the Brownies but got drummed out.

The tinypics urls @ 20.08 both opened for me.(same image) but the 20.26 will not. Try thumbsnap Webbo. Less lag and load issues. How many times do you think that the op has been punched in the head? (^_*)

[bainbrig]

I was in the Wolf Cubs.

[-Talbot-]

Second best sport on earth.

[tonyav]

I didn't last long in the cubs either, Mamya.
